:VERSE 1:
         |Riff|
As I'm leaving
                |Riff|
A change comes on my eyes
                 |Riff|
These streets persuading me
             |Riff|
With mumbled strange goodbyes.
:CHORUS:
And through the Cwater
Through the Drain
To the sAmoul of everytGhing
Throw my hCeart out
On the Dstones 
              |Riff|
And I'm almost gone.
:VERSE 2:
                 |Riff|
And there's no meaning
                |Riff|
In clothes and coffee cups
            |Riff|
Cheap hotel furniture
               |Riff|
Where silence never stops.
:Repeat CHORUS
:VERSE 3:
             |Riff|
And now I'm dreaming
              |Riff|
I'm staring at the walls
           |Riff|
Cars all frozen now
              |Riff|
In late night waterfalls.
:Repeat CHORUS
